For the price it was well suited! Very basic, comfortable beds, good hot showers. The staff was fantastic! Very helpful. Stained bed sheets, dirty floors and all the surfaces need a good clean wiped!, toaster not working. Other than that, its a OK place. friendly, and helpful.

Perfect for our quick stay. Beds were 5 star, so comfortable and perfect for our quick layover. Staff were very helpful with our late checkin. Rooms were dated but the price reflected this so this was not an issue at all!
